SETTINGeFR-AME FOR SIDE-WALL REGISTERS.

Application filed Apr'ii 24, i915.

To all zriom -zt'fmay/ concern.'

Be it kn'own that I, BEXJAUIN H. QUICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Des Moines, Polk county, State of Iowa,

.have invented certain new and useful Improvenients in Setting-Frames for Side- Wall Registers, of wl-iicli the 'following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to a ncw means for facilitating the installation of hot air reg isters, and consists particularly in what I may term a setting frame or gage.

The object of the invention is to provide coiiipanying di'awing which shows the invention in its preferred forni only.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front ele vation partly broken away of the lower part of a register with a portion of the adjacent sidewall and part of the setting gage shown in place. Fig. 2 is a side section on the plane of the line 2 2, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a section on the/plane of the line 3 3, Fig. 2, and relatively reduced in size'. Fig. l is a perspective view of the setting gage in its preferred form. y In the drawings 1 1 represent partition studs.

2 2 represent lath secured to said studding at each side of the register passage.

3 3 represent-the plastering at each side` of said passage.'

4 4 represent the ends of the base board at each side of said register passage.

'5 represents the flue outlet box, oi'.so

called stack head, to which the register proper is secured in the usualinanner. 6 represents the front of a side-wall register which is in the main of conventional type, and is provided with the side Walls' 7 7 and a perforated grid 8.

rlhe vsetting gage illustrated in detail in Fig. 4- comprises the main body or bridge portion 9which is preferably provided With right angle bends to form side members lil-10. T he bridge is preferably provided with one or more strengthening corrugations -wardly as shown.

l1 l l or other suitable reinforcing means to stitfen the front and sides. The side members l0 10 may be so formed and spaced as to receive and hold the outlet end of the stack head 5, where it'comes through the floor l2. ends are anged outwardly to form seats M -H designed to bear against the studs 1 1 to which tliesetting gage may be .secured b v any suitable fastening means such as nails l l5.

1(5 16 are shoulders preferably; formedv by bending the ends of the seatsl 14 14 out- These shoulders 16-16 are spaced at a predetermined distance from. each other so that they will constitute stops for the lath, plaster and baseboard at each sidevof the flue passage. It has beenconr" 'mon practice to provide separate stop shoulders for this purpose, but ,the use and application of separate stop shoulders requires an unnecessary amount-oflabor and skill in locating the same'in the proper position, as accurate iiieasineinents have to be made,I marks established, and great care exercised in applying the saine at the designated positions. B v my invention, the correct position of the stop shoulders is guaranteed and. to apply the same requires no special skill or careful preliminary measuieiiients. Again, by my improvement, the bridging member, by which the'stops are held in predetermined positions, performs the additional `function of a holding 'means for the stack head 5. The lower rear edges of the Sides 7 7. may be indented or cut away slightly so as to afford 4clearance for the ends' 16 16 of the setting frame, as best seen in Fig. 3. these positions are near to the meeting line of the wall and floor, it is obvious that the vVliat I claiinis:r
